hicle has automatic gearbox), since other-
wise the vehicle cannot be locked.
● Close the door.
● Push the central locking button  on the
remote c
ontrol and touch the locking sensor
surface ››› Fig. 132 B on the driver door han-
dl e onc
e w

ithin the following 5 seconds. Do
not grip the door handle, otherwise the vehi-
cle will not lock. Deactivation is also possible
if the vehicle is locked through the driver’s
door lock.
● To check that the function has been deacti-
vated, w
ait at least 10 seconds, grip and pull
on the door handle. The door should not
open.
The next time the door can only be unlocked
via the remote control or the lock cylinder.
The next time the door is locked/unlocked,
Keyless Access will be active again.
Convenience functions
To close all the electric windows using the
convenience function, keep a finger on the
locking sensor surface B (arrow) of the door
h andl
e f

or a few seconds until the windows
have closed.
The doors opened by touching the sensor
surface of the door handle depend on the
settings that have been activated in the info-
tainment system with the  button and theSETTINGS and
Openin
g and c
lo
sing function but-
t on
s. WARNING
If there is a valid key in the proximity of the
re ar lid, in some c

ases the Easy Open func-
tion may be accidentally activated and the
rear lid will open, for example, when sweep-
ing under the rear bumper, when directing a
water jet or high pressure steam to the area
or when carrying out maintenance work or re-
pairs in that area. If accidentally opened, the
rear lid could injure somebody situated in its
area of operation or cause material damage.
● Therefore, always make sure that there is
no uns
upervised valid key in the area near
the rear lid.
● Before carrying out any maintenance or re-
pair work
on the vehicle, always disable the
Easy Open feature via the infotainment sys-
tem.
● Before washing the vehicle, always disable
the Easy
Open feature via the infotainment
system.
● Before attaching a bicycle rack or a trailer,
›››

page 273, always disable the Easy Open
feature via the infotainment system. CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
cou l

d engage if hit with a water jet or high
pressure steam if there is a valid vehicle key
in the proximity. If at least one of the electric windows is open and the sensor surface
B (arrow) on one of the handles is activated
continuou
s

ly, all windows will close. Note
● If the v

ehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, you will probably not be able
to lock or unlock the vehicle with the Keyless
Access system. The vehicle can be unlocked
or locked manually ››› page 97.
● To control the proper locking of the vehicle,
the rele
ase function is disabled for approx. 2
seconds.
● If the message Keyless access system
faulty is di

splayed on the screen of the
dash panel, abnormalities may occur in the
operation of the Keyless Access system. Con-
tact a specialised workshop. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.
● Depending on the function set on the info-
tainment sy
stem for the mirrors, the exterior
mirrors will unfold and the surround lighting
will come on when unlocking the vehicle us-
ing the sensor surface on the driver and pas-
senger door handles ››› page 155.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the syst
em fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case). 132

Operation
– Pr e
s
s the  button on the remote control
twice. The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-
sors will be deactivated. The alarm system remains activated.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,
their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for example, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully). ●
Panoramic/ti lting sunroof open (partially or
completely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v

ehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor
, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehic
le may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid i
s open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior moni-
t
orin
g and anti-t

ow system* When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be
trigg
er

ed if movements are detected in the
interior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehicle's in-
clination is changed (e.g. during transport).
You can prevent the alarm from being trig-
gered accidentally by switching off the vehi-
cle interior monitoring and/or tow-away pro-
tection.
● To switch off the interior monitoring and
to w-

away protection, switch off the ignition
and, using the Infotainment system, select:  button >
S
ET
TINGS function button > Open-
in g and c
lo

sing > Central locking > Switch off
alarm.
● When the vehicle is locked now, the vehicle
interior monitorin
g and the tow-away protec-
tion are switched off until the next time the
door is opened.
If the anti-theft security system (Safelock)*
››› page 133 is switched off, the vehicle interi-
or monitoring and the tow-away protection
are automatically switched off. WARNING

er)*
Intr
oduction The auxiliary heater runs on fuel from the ve-
hicl
e's

tank and can be used while you are
driving and when the vehicle is stationary.
The auxiliary heater can be switched on using
the fast heating button of the air condition-
ing controls, with the remote control or by
previously programming a departure time in
the auxiliary heater menu of the infotainment
system.
In winter, with the auxiliary heater switched
on, you can defog the windscreen and leave
it free of ice and snow (if it is a thin layer) be-
fore you start driving.
If the outside temperature is very high, the
vehicle interior can be ventilated with the en-
gine off using the auxiliary heater. WARNING
Swallowing a battery with a 20 mm diameter
or any other b

utton battery can cause serious
and even fatal injuries within a very short
time.
● Always keep the remote control, keyrings
with batt
eries, the spare batteries, button
batteries and all other batteries over 20 mm
out of reach of children. ●
If y

ou suspect that someone may have
swallowed a battery, seek immediate medical
attention. WARNING
The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
c arbon mono x

ide, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death.
● Never switch on the auxiliary heater or
leav
e it running in enclosed spaces or areas
with no ventilation.
● Never programme the auxiliary heater so
that it
switches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-
tion. WARNING
The components of the auxiliary heater are
extr emely

hot and could cause a fire.
● Always park your vehicle so that no part of
the exhau
st system can come in contact with
easily flammable materials that might be be-
low the vehicle, such as dried grass. CAUTION
Never place food, medicines or other temper-
atur e-

sensitive objects close to the air vents.
Food, medicines and other objects sensitive
to heat or cold may be damaged or made un- suitable for use by the air coming from the
vent
s. Note
After switching the engine on with a 12-volt
b att er

y that is heavily discharged or newly
changed or after a jump start some system
settings (such as the time, the date, the per-
sonalised comfort settings and the program-
ming) might be altered or deleted. Check and
correct these settings once the battery is suf-
ficiently charged. Switching on and off the auxiliary

Switching the Front Assist off tempo-
rarily
in the following situations In the following situations the Front Assist
shou
l
d be de

activated due to the system's
limitations:
● When the vehicle is to be towed.
● If the vehicle is on a test bed.
● When the radar sensor is damaged.
● If the radar sensor takes a heavy knock, for
examp
le in a rear collision.
● If it intervenes several times unnecessarily. ●
If the ra
dar sensor is covered temporarily
with some kind of accessory, such as an ad-
ditional headlight or the like.
● When the vehicle is to be loaded on a lorry,
ferry
or train.
System limitations The Front Assist has certain physical limita-
tions
inher

ent to the system. Thus, in certain
circumstances, some of the system's reac-
tions may be inopportune from the driver's
standpoint. So pay attention in order to inter-
vene if necessary.
The following conditions may cause the Front
Assist not to react or to do so too late:
● In the first few instants of driving after
swit c

hing on the ignition, due to the system’s
initial auto-calibration.
● On taking tight bends or complex paths.
● Pressing the accelerator all the way down.
● If the Front Assist is switched off or dam-
aged.
● If the ASR h

as been disconnected or the
ESC activ
ated in Sport mode manually
››› page 191.
● If the ESC is controlling.
● If several brake lights of the vehicle or elec-
trical ly

connected trailer are damaged.
